Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9623163A1] An object of the present invention is to provide a compound structural member constituted by strong, light and inexpensive materials for use in every type of structural members not only in the civil engineering and construction field but also in the mechanical field such as automobiles, trains and marine vessels. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a strong, light and inexpensive material through relatively simple processes. A compound cell structure is provided wherein a plurality of compound cell bodies each comprising a light interior material and a rigid surrounding boundary material are disposed on and secured to one or both sides of a surface holding body, the surface holding body is formed into a roll, growth ring, spiral, laminate, plate or intersection and gaps between the compound cell bodies and the surface holding body are filled with a solidifying material. A compound cell structure is produced through the steps of preparing compound cell bodies each constituted of a compound material consisting of a rigid body and a light material, machining the compound cell bodies into suitable sizes, disposing a plurality of compound cell bodies on a surface holding body and fixing thereto, and filling the gaps formed between the surface holding body and the compound cell bodies for solidification with a solidifying material.
